PENERAPAN PERMAINAN TRADISIONAL "ENGKLEK MODIFIKASI " DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MOTORIK KASAR ANAK USIA DINI, USIA 5 - 6 TAHUN DI TK WINONG 01

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRADITIONAL “ENGKLEK” GAME IN IMPROVING GROSS MOTOR SKILLS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD CHILDREN AGED 5–6 YEARS AT TK WINONG 01

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia 5–6 tahun di TK Winong 01, khususnya pada aspek keseimbangan, kelincahan, dan kekuatan otot kaki. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan tersebut adalah melalui penerapan permainan tradisional engklek

modifikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas guru dan anakdalam penerapan permainan engklek modifikasi serta mendeskripsikanpeningkatan kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini melalui permainan tersebut.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) modelKemmis dan McTaggart yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus, meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah 10 anak kelompok B2 usia 5–6 tahun di TK Winong 01 Kabupaten Madiun tahun pelajaran

2025/2026. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi aktivitas guru, aktivitas anak, dan kemampuan motorik kasar anak. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik deskriptif kuantitatif dengan persentase keberhasilan.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan permainan engklek modifikasi dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik kasar anak. Pada tahap pra siklus, kemampuan motorik kasar anak masih berada pada kategori rendah. Setelah dilakukan tindakan pada siklus I dan siklus II, terjadi peningkatan pada aspek kekuatan otot kaki, kelincahan, dan kecepatan gerak anak. Selain itu, aktivitas guru dan anak selama pembelajaran juga mengalami peningkatan, ditunjukkan dengan anak lebih aktif, antusias, serta mampu mengikuti aturan permainan dengan baik.

Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan permainan engklek modifikasi efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini usia 5–6 tahun di TK Winong 01. Permainan ini juga mampu menciptakan suasana belajar yang menyenangkan, aktif, dan bermakna bagi anak.

This research was motivated by the low gross motor skills of children aged 5–6

years at TK Winong 01, particularly in aspects of balance, agility, and leg muscle

strength. One of the efforts made to improve these abilities was through the

implementation of a modified traditional engklek game. Thisstudy aimed to identify

the activities of teachers and children in the implementation of the modified engklek

game and to describe the improvement of early childhood gross motor skills

through the game.

This study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the

Kemmis and McTaggart model, which was conducted in two cycles consisting of

planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this

study were 10 children of Group B2 aged 5–6 years at TK Winong 01, Madiun

Regency, in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection techniques were carried

out through observations of teacher activities, children’s activities, and children’s

gross motor skills. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative

techniques with percentages of success.

The results of the study showed that the implementation of the modified engklek

game could improve children’s gross motor skills. In the pre-cycle stage, children’s

gross motor skills were still categorized as low. After the implementation of actions

in Cycle I and Cycle II, improvements were found in aspects of leg muscle strength,

agility, and movement speed. In addition, teacher and children’s activities during

the learning process also improved, as indicated by children becoming more active,

enthusiastic, and able to follow the game rules properly.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the modified engklek

game is effective in improving the gross motor skills of early childhood children

aged 5–6 years at TK Winong 01. This game is also able to create a fun, active, and

meaningful learning atmosphere for children.
